Chennaiyin FC vs Hyderabad FC ISL 2023-24 Preview: Indian Super League 2023-24 has reached its last quarter and the last two teams of the points table, Chennaiyin FC and Hyderabad FC will lock horns at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai on Saturday (March 9).
The two-time champions Chennaiyin FC are now in the 11th position of the table, just above tomorrow's opponent Hyderabad FC. Playing 17 matches the Marina Machans have managed to clinch 18 points only while the Nizams collected only 5 points so far in this season of India Super League.

In their last match, Chennaiyin FC edged the table-topper Odisha FC by a 2-1 margin. Ankit Mukherjee scored the first goal in the very early stage of the match while the other goal came as a last-minute winner in the 94th minute. On the other hand, Hyderabad FC had to be content with a 2-2 draw against 8th-placed NorthEast United. Joao Victor and Makan Winkle Chote were the two goal-scorers for them.
In this season Hyderabad FC is yet to get their first victory. Not a single player from the Nizams' side has more than one goal contribution in this edition of ISL. Tomorrow their task will be more difficult as both the skipper Joao Victor and midfielder Mark Zothanpuia are suspended for getting yellow cards.
There is still hope for Chennaiyin FC to qualify for the play-offs. A victory against the Nizams will take them nearer to the sixth position with 21 points in 18 matches. Though the Marina Machans won only 2 of the last 5 matches, their victory against the table leaders in the last match certainly boosted their confidence for the upcoming matches.
Jordan Murray with 6 goals is their highest scorer this season. But Rafael Crivellaro has the best stat for them this year with 3 goals and 6 assists. We can expect an almost similar line up from their last match as they are unlikely to break their winning combination.
The match between Chennaiyin FC vs Hyderabad FC in the ISL 2023-24 will be on Saturday (March 9). The ISL 2023-24 match between Chennaiyin FC vs Hyderabad FC will start at 7:30 PM IST on Saturday.
